I ran a 26 Fury yesterday ,,5850 at 74mph,,,,,,,heavy loaded,,flooded live well
and full of gas was 72mph. No plug and strong hole shot with ten inch hydro-jack at 3.50 below pad on take off. Handled very well 50-67 mph. Jacked her up an inch and empted live well,,,,,she really had lift and 74mph. But the area of 42-48 mph where I run most of the time during the week,, was not as efficient as the 25" Tempest-plus. if I were young and wanting to " Fly" I'd jump on this one,
but MHG counts more as I live on a lake and fish as much as I can. Looking to test 25 Fury, selling my back up prop 26 Trophy to friend,,,25 might be best for 203LE
Should the jack-plate be lowered all the way when towing ????
I was taught it was less stress in the transom.
